Notice of Federal Consistency Review: NPS Fort Raleigh Area Shoreline Stabilization Project
The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Coastal Management (DCM) hereby gives notice that public review and comment is invited on the below proposed federal action.
To ensure compliance with the Coastal Zone Management Act, NOAA is requesting concurrence with a Federal Consistency Determination for the construction of a rock berm/revetment at Fort Raleigh National Historic Site to address ongoing erosion threatening cultural and historic resources. Specifically, the National Park Service proposes installing rock berms and rock revetments along approximately 1,100 linear feet of shoreline on the western end of Roanoke Island to reduce erosion, protect infrastructure, and enhance long-term shoreline stability.
The State’s review of the submitted federal consistency determination request will determine if the proposed project in Dare County is consistent with the enforceable policies of North Carolina’s Coastal Management Program.
A more thorough description of the proposed federal actions may be examined in the Related Content section of this page.
Please submit written comments by January 29, 2026 to Federal Consistency Coordinator, 400 Commerce Avenue, Morehead City, NC 28557, or by email to federalconsistencycomments@deq.nc.gov. Please put “Federal Consistency: NPS FORA” in the subject line. All comments will be considered in developing the state’s consistency response. Notice of the decision regarding this matter will be provided upon request.
